KPresenter 1.4.1 causes an error when printing as PDF under Slackware 10.2
 
Hi,

I got the following error from KNotify with a window title 'Catastrophe!' when I tried to 'Print to File (PDF)' under KPresenter.
Code:

A print error occurred. Error message received from system:

Abnormal process termination (gs -q -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$out{/mnt/data/Firefox/Firefox_Presentation_01.pdf} -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -c .setpdfwrite -f '/tmp/kde-basel/kdeprint_d7f707eo' ).

The kpr file which caused the error contains six slides with a screen snap shot in each slide. Here are the steps to regenerate the problem:
* Start KPresenter and select the 'Craete Document' tab.
* Select 'Screen Presentations' from the list on the left and select 'Plain' from the list on the right and then click 'OK'
* Ctrl+PrintScreen to take a snap shot.
* Under the 'Edit' menu of KPresenter select 'Paste'
* Click on the printer icon and select 'Print to File (PDF)' for the printer name
* Give your file a name and then click 'Print'
At this point KNotify will run with a window titled as 'Catastrophe!'

Versions: KPresenter 1.4.1 (Using KDE 3.4.2) under Slackware 10.2
